It's served: Nutritional turnaround between field, kitchen and seminar room
Experts from the fields of nutrition, health, communal catering and agriculture are grappling with the same questions: how can we ensure that everyone has access to healthy meals without jeopardising the health of our planet? How, then, can we incorporate a diet that promotes good health into our daily lives?
The symposium invites participants to exchange ideas and network both within their own disciplines and across different fields. Potential solutions from the worlds of cuisine, health promotion and education will be presented and discussed in interactive formats.
Results from the project field test and practical insights into the local food infrastructure on the UW/H campus show the opportunities and challenges of a nutritional turnaround: From cultivation planning in the field, menu design in the kitchen, research on eating habits among patients:inside, students and staff, to effective educational formats and ways to promote health through nutrition that are suitable for everyday use. The symposium will tackle this multifaceted and burning issue in order to prepare even tastier, healthier and planet-friendly dishes in the future!
The event is aimed at anyone who is interested in nutrition and wants to think outside the box, network, exchange ideas and come up with new ideas for implementing a nutritional turnaround.
Participation is free of charge. Please register online.
